Chapter 91: Puzzle solving

The police came quickly, but something went wrong.

"What? You say the police can't search openly? Mori Kogoro looked at the Twilight Police Department, who had also been discharged from the hospital for a long time, in shock.

"Yes," the Twilight Police Department said, "as things stand, I'm afraid there's no way around it!" ”

"Wait a minute, the Dusk Police Department!" Mori Kogoro was anxious, and said anxiously: "This Miss Kabori's father, the well-known mystery novelist Rentaro Shinname, has been missing for two months now, and his wife has disappeared with him, so we can only start investigating in the direction of what case they are involved in!" ”

"But the manuscript of the novel written by this new gentleman is faxed to this publishing house on time every week, right?" The Twilight Police Department turned his head to look at the manuscript next to him and said, "Although it is a fax, the handwriting and penmanship of this novel have been confirmed by his daughter and the editorial staff!" ”

"That's why!" Mori Kogoro stepped forward and said, "The problem I'm talking about now is in this faxed manuscript!" Don't you think these signatures are very wrong? ”

"Signature? Haven't you confirmed that these signatures are all from Mr. Shina's autograph? The Dusk Police Department frowned.

"But every time the new name teacher signs next to the title, from the first chapter to the sixth chapter, it is more or less different, but the signature of the sixth to eighth chapters is exactly the same, we can easily deduce that this is a copy of the previous signature, and the gourd is printed next to the title in the same way, in order to achieve the effect of fish and pearls, that is to say, something must have happened to the new name teacher now!" Kogoro Mori struggled to explain.

The Twilight Police Department was a little impatient, turned to look at Maori Kogoro, and said seriously, "So, Maori brother, let me ask you, who will be unfavorable to Mr. Shina?" If his family received a blackmail call, what you said could be true, but nothing has happened so far! Moreover, people feel that it is too troublesome to sign every chapter, so it is possible to simply use photocopying instead to avoid trouble! ”

Taku Yamamoto, Conan, Shina Kahori and others next to them also heard the words of the Twilight Police Department, and their brows furrowed.

Indeed, judging by the current situation, the Twilight Police Department is right, Takumi Yamamoto's reasoning is just to extrapolate to the worst situation, if nothing else happens, if the new name Rentaro, a well-known mystery novelist, is really hiding somewhere with his wife and concentrating on his writing, there is indeed nothing suspicious, but is this really that simple?

"Police Department! I have copied all the suspicious lines in Mr. Maori's work and sorted them out! ”

Taku Yamamoto turned his head to see that it was the new Officer Takagi!

I've had a few photos before, and of course, this one is naturally at the scene of the murder!

"Hmm!" The Twilight Police Department nodded, and took one of them.

Mori Kogoro next to him immediately took one of them.

Taku Yamamoto and Conan also leaned over to ask for one, and even Xiaolan leaned over curiously.

While watching, the Twilight Police Department said: "So far, Mr. New Name has appeared four times, and the author's first appearance is because the protagonist Detective Zuo Wen made a phone call first, so this new Mr. who lives in France picked up the phone, the second time was also in France, the third time was still in France, and the fourth time was the same!" Looking at the manuscript, the Twilight Police Department turned to ask Shinnaya Kahori and said, "Does Mr. Shina like this place in France very much?" ”

"Yes," Shina Kaori's mood was still stable at this time, nodded, and said, "My father and my mother often travel to France!" ”

Taku Yamamoto looked at the manuscript and desperately combined these lines in his mind, trying to find something out of them, but he was depressed to find that no matter whether these lines were read upside down or skipped, there was no way to make up a complete meaning! This drove Conan crazy.

In desperation, Taku Yamamoto turned his head to look at Conan, who was also frowning slightly, and asked, "Little ghost, have you seen anything?" ”

Conan didn't raise his head and said, "No! ”

Just when everyone was worried about the manuscript, the editor next to him came over and asked cautiously: "That, the manuscript of "1/2 Vertex" that the teacher just passed over, can we start editing work?" ”

"1/2 Vertex?" The Twilight Police Department asked with a puzzled wink.

"yes!" The editor hurriedly said: "It's the title of the work you're watching!" ”

1/2……

"1/2 Vertex"?

Taku Yamamoto was stunned, and Conan also held his glasses.

Conan hurriedly opened the manuscript and looked at the lines inside, could it be...... Could it be ......

"Come, come, help, help, me?" Taku Yamamoto's voice rang out word by word, causing everyone else to freeze for a moment.

"Taku?"

"Cousin?"

Mori Kogoro, Twilight Police Department, Conan, and Ran all looked at Taku Yamamoto in surprise.

Yamamoto Taku's memory is amazing, in the case of consciousness, basically the text will be completely remembered as long as you read it two or three times, these lines are not long, Conan is still combining words over there, and Yamamoto Taku's side has already combined the words.

"Xiao Tuo, what did you just say? Come and save me? The Twilight Police Department asked anxiously.

Conan also asked in astonishment: "Brother Xiao Tuo, do you already know how to read this code?" ”

Taku Yamamoto nodded and said, "Sort of...... It's just that I only understand the opening sentence at the moment, and I haven't figured out the next lines yet......"

"Huh? How do you say that? The Twilight Police Department wondered.

Taku Yamamoto explained, "Every sentence in this manuscript is 1/2 ......."

Jingle bell~~~

Taka Yamamoto was just halfway through his words when he was interrupted, and the phone next to him suddenly rang, and the editor hurriedly reached out to answer it.

"Hello, Literary Times Editorial Department...... What, you already know the code? Who the hell are you? ”

"What's going on?" The Twilight Police Department frowned and said, Yamamoto Taka has just unlocked the code here, could it be that someone has also unlocked the code?

The editor covered the microphone and turned around and said, "He said that he had unlocked the code and asked me to call the police here, a teenager with a Kansai accent?" ”

A teenager with a Kansai accent?

Taku Yamamoto smiled with satisfaction, very good, he can save a lot of effort, and besides, his code is only half solved, just give the other half to the black-skinned boy to bother!

The Twilight Police Department also vaguely thought of who the other party was, reached out and took the phone, and said, "Hey? ”

didn't want the other party to roar directly.

"Please! How many times do you want me to say it! A sucker! I'm telling you to hurry up and call the police! Do you hear that?! ”

The Twilight Police Department was yelled at by the loud voice in the microphone, and the corners of his mouth twitched and said, "You're Hattori-kun, right?" I'm Twilight! ”

Hearing that it was an acquaintance, Hattori Heiji's attitude immediately softened, and he said with a smile: "Ah, what! It turned out to be you, the police department! It's been a long time since we've seen each other! ”

The corners of the Dusk Police Department's mouth continued to twitch and asked, "Hattori-kun, what the hell is wrong with you?" "Don't delay him from getting down to business, okay?
